Amit,

The tutorial is here:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming)

Follow the cupertino configuration and playback steps for iOS devices. Follow the RTSP steps for Android. Windows phone might work with RTSP.

> Can’t I develop an application in plain HTML to be accessed on IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID , or Windows Phones browsers, and include a flash player to play the Live streaming in that HTML

No, but JW player has iOS fallback:

Flash is mostly used only on the desktop. Some Android devices support Flash, but not consistent, so we recommend RTSP streaming to Android

Thanks Recahrd for your reply.

I have another question to ask.

Can’t I develop an application in plain HTML to be accessed on IPHONE, IPAD, ANDROID , or Windows Phones browsers, and include a flash player to play the Live streaming in that HTML. So that when the user access that HTML which contains the Flash player playing Live streaming ( It happens in simple web application as per the examples provided in WOWZA installation ).

Do the devices play the live streaming with flash through wowza media server?

Thanks

VOD RTSP is Ok, but LIVE one has problems

1. Android BSPlayer, Android VLC player beta play RTSP stream from Wowza.

2. But native MediaPlayer fails with error 100, 0

All configuration is applied for RTSP/RTP.
